Easter Plans in London

Easter, Easter and what to do? Chocolate and hot cross buns? church and finishing Lent? No red meat? Passover? Or just enjoying some well earned time off!

I think if you are in London, the number one plan is just dont listen to any weather reports, and have plans flexible enough to swap between a sunny and rainy list. But in case you dont have your list ready, or maybe some holes in their somewhere, have a check of mine...

Friday there are some organised fancy Kites flying on Hampstead Heath and while you are up there, check out this pub. It is where Ruth Ellis shot her boyfriend dead, and the bullets are still embedded in the wall. This may be a lie, but the bullet holes are still there. It also has a four pint rating from fancy a pint, which means one must try it.

If you wanted to combine art and musicm then head to the southbank for free perfomances of Ujino and the Rotators. He calls them sound scupltures, which sounds cool! This is on Friday and Saturday.

Then for Sunday, the Lock Tavern has some cool djs and calls it Sensible Sundays!

Or maybe you want to spend your way out of this so call recession, and take advantage of all the amazing art out there?

OK, the rest of my list is sectioned up so just have a browse.
